The ruling on some imams moving closer to the microphone and advancing or retreating for bowing and prostration

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We return to the question of the brother who asked about some movements in the prayer. He has a question: He says, “Some imams in the mosques and in the prayers where the recitation is loud, O Shaykh, move closer to the microphone when reciting and lag behind in bowing and prostration. What is the ruling on the frequent occurrence of this movement?”

Answer:
This is not permissible, the movement and advancing and retreating, because there is no need to get close to the microphone. Also, getting close to the microphone disturbs the worshippers because his voice becomes amplified, which causes disturbance, or his voice becomes too loud, or it mixes. He should remain in his position and stay a little away from the microphone so that the voice is balanced and so that he does not need to move, advance, or retreat. In fact, some of them bow over the microphone, bending over it. This is a great error. Yes. Or some of them turn to it, from his right and from his left, he turns to it and puts his name in it and prays. All of this is an error and is not permissible. Yes.
